Yeah, that's RAW (Canon .CR2). My sensor is about half of yours (!) at ~18MP, so my RAWs are ~21MB each.
74MB is serious. Man. I start thinking about tripling my storage needs, and the cost goes up by an order of magnitude (for the same number of cards). Going from 16GB to 48GB at the same speed is roughly $30 going to $300. Yeesh.
Will be cool to hear about that camera body over on the geek thread when you get it.
